The Same Difference

“What’s your biggest problem with the lesbian community?” That’s the launching point for director Nneka Onuorah’s documentary about black queer women. Actress Felicia “Snoop” Pearson (The Wire), model AzMarie Livingston (Empire), and podcast co-host Crissle West (The Read) are among the well-known figures offering views on topics from gender roles to discrimination against—and among—black lesbians. Onuorah captured precious moments: a pregnant stud confronting an Internet troll, a bisexual woman searching for acceptance, and Snoop’s transition to femme. THE SAME DIFFERENCE offers a valuable glimpse into the lives of a community that’s often overlooked.
